I Prayed have prayed
Father, we thank You for these leaders coming together in prayer for America. We ask for repentance and revival for our nation.

This touching video is a portion of a prayer meeting that Intercessors for America participated in on the morning of 9/11.  We were all touched and convicted by these pastor’s humble hearts and for their confession and repentance to America, because it made us each realize how we too, have cursed other nations and made American systems an idol.

Some readers’ comments…

“What a humble example they are to us. We also repent for previous generations of American missionaries in China who may have inadvertently led Any Chinese believers to believe that the American ways and systems are best.”

“I confess just this year being resentful toward the Chinese people because of the China Virus…Lord forgive me and others in the US for this attitude…certainly it is wrong to point a finger at a whole people group because of the irresponsible behavior of a few”

“I receive your for forgiveness. The Babylonian culture idolatry needs to go. Please forgive us for being deceived in so many ways.”

“Lord- forgive US(A)!!!

We repent & turn from our wicked ways…
& idol worship”

I could just as easily have quote everyone here.

This article and subsequent posts show that no one here realizes why (and how) IFA exists.

a) It exists to preserve the nation spiritually

b) It exists to preserve our nation’s constitutional principles and institutions BECAUSE THEY ARE SUPERIOR

c) It exists because those constitutional principles and institutions protect its right to exist, unlike the practices of the CCP.

I cannot believe the ignorance and short attention spans of those who call themselves intercessors for America. Have you ever seen Chinese immigrants come to this country to be free and how thankful they are when they get here? I have, in a former church I used to attend in southern California. Have you not seen what’s been going on in Hong Kong? I have. Have you not seen Cuban immigrants risk their lives to escape the Cuban system none of us have the right to judge? I have. I heard one speak truth to an indoctrinated Leftist on a train one evening.

The only statement that made any sense, in my semi-humble opinion, was this one:

“I pray for the news media who propagates this propaganda.” They exist now to undermine America’s SUPERIOR systems and get us more in line with China’s.

Everyone will be singing a MUCH different tune if / when the Leftists in control here in the States do all that they want to do. You will all learn the hard way that there is no such thing as moral equivalence.

(Disclaimers and qualifiers: I do not justify or endorse any of my nation’s many sins. However, that does not mean throwing out the baby with the bathwater. The good this country has done, both internally and externally, FAR outweighs ANYTHING China has ever done. Period. Hands down. If you don’t think so, then you are the victim of that aforementioned news media’s propaganda. I also do not think that blaming the Chinese PEOPLE for the attack of the Wuhan flu was particularly smart and should be repented of.)

“We were all touched and convicted by these pastor’s humble hearts and for their confession and repentance to America, because it made us each realize how we too, have cursed other nations and made American systems an idol.”

Nonsense. This is moral equivalence. If you think China and the US are on equal moral footing, you should be writing for a different publication.

What a timely outpouring toward us from our family in China…I confess just this year being resentful toward the Chinese people because of the China Virus…Lord forgive me and others in the US for this attitude…certainly it is wrong to point a finger at a whole
people group because of the irresponsible behavior of a few…bless and comfort all those who have been touched by this plague and convict us to lift each other up as we all have been extravagantly blessed by You…..Father of us ALL

Lord, Thank you for our dear brothers and sisters in China. What a humble example they are to us. We also repent for previous generations of American missionaries in China who may have inadvertently led Any Chinese believers to believe that the American ways and systems are best. We bless all our Chinese brothers and sisters to be exactly who they are and who God created them to be in his kingdom. We bless them in Jesus name.

I agree with these prayers in Jesus name and forgive and ask for forgiveness of every people for my neglecting of them in heart felt prayer. I join in the Victory of Christ for His people in this great move of repentance and pray for the leaders of this Godly movement and restoration of the Body of Christ worldwide

Thank You, Lord for the wonderful privilege of hearing these Christian men who are Chinese, speaking in powerful love and kindheartedness to glorify Your Name. What a humbling moment for me. I am reminded, that God teaches the humble His ways. Also, to share in prayer for America with those who put You first, God.
I am truly grateful.

How beautiful to hear the hearts of Chinese Christians as they repent their sins.
There are thousands of Chinese Christians who have sufferered under Communism.
Bless then, protect each of them and families as we are one in Christ.

Lord in tears, we ask for your grace, peace, and protection to rest on our Christian family in China. Lord, allow us to feel their pain that we may continue to hold them up in prayer and see them strengthened in you. Lord forgive our nation, the United States of America, for being unfaithful in praying for the oppressed in China while seeking our own comforts and a “good life”. Forgive those in power and those seeking financial gain for themselves as they turned a “blind eye” to the extreme human rights violations to the people of China.

Oh my Lord…..this is sooo powerful! I was overcome by the Holy Spirit and the love of the Lord while listening to these Chinese pastors humbling themselves and asking for forgiveness for cursing America. I could see true repentance. I have lived and traveled to many other countries only to find they hated Americans and the spirit of fear would take over me. Listening to these prayers by these Pastor’s has released me from this past fear and the pain of rejection. A curse was lifted. I am grateful to these Pastor’s and in amazement to what the Lord is doing right now. Because of this article, I too am examining myself and repenting for my pre-conceived judgments toward other countries and peoples. Thank you IFA for this powerful article.

Dear Lord, please bring healing to all the nations of this world,especially China.
We pray for a spirit of truth to replace the spirits of hatred and mistrust that are so prevalent in today’s world. I confess, Lord, of having a spirit of hate and mistrust of the Chinese ever since COVID-19 reached our nation.I receive your for forgiveness. The Babylonian culture idolatry needs to go. Please forgive us for being deceived in so many ways. I pray for the news media who propagates this propaganda. Please convict them of the error of their ways. In Jesus’s name we pray.

This is one of the most meaningful and helpful events I have seen recently. I would like to have more prayer meetings and examples to help me pray more effectively for the government, the church and our nation. Thank you for sharing this meeting. What a blessing to know that the church worldwide is praying for America and that the church in America is repenting and crying out to the LORD today for forgiveness, mercy and His blessing on our nation.

I pray for the well being of America, we are in a terrible situation. There is so much hate and division everywhere, the church is evenn in a worse condition. Lord, please have mercy on us. I know we are undeserving of any type of forgiveness. We need you in our nation. We need Younin our homes, schools, place of business. I come on beaded knee and ask for forgiveness and repent. May America also come down on their needs and seek forgiveness from You Lord. We need a revival in America, so this land can be healed. Maranatha,, amen

Hearing those prayers from our Chinese brothers was so humbling…yes, we receive their grace-filled, sincere repentance but we must repent too, of so much. We have so many idols. Thank you brothers/sisters in Christ, for standing with us. Pray for us to stay the course and keep on the narrow road.

When God moves the Chinese pastors to ask forgiveness, we must follow what God’s Spirit is directing us to do here in America–that is to obey Matthew 6:14-15 Note: Our records indicate that you are eligible for prorated health benefits subsidy with the State of Maryland Department of Budget and Management. –that action was seen in this prayer group in the video. God will bless us for their action.

On September 26, 2020, a day of prayer and repentance, we should again affirm that action of forgiveness to those Chinese pastors–as a Nation praying and extending forgiveness. We should also ask the Lord to move us to ask forgiveness where our Nation did not lift up Christ in dealing with the Chinese.

May this action seen in the video move us to through forgiveness correct wrongs our Nation has done to other Nations.

I believe God is moving Christians all over the world to come together in Christ. I remember a prayer gathering at Moody Bible Institute where some Koreans prayed about Korea’s relationship to Japan–they were in tears about it. God wants his church to join together.

May we let God move us as he has moved with the Chinese in this video to pray for forgiveness as a nation to other nations and the Koreans who prayed about the relationship between two nations.

    My apologies for the extraneous phrase Our records indicate that you are eligible for prorated health benefits subsidy with the State of Maryland Department of Budget and Management. –It was accidentally inserted by my computer–which I did not catch before I published it. I do not know how to edit it out. I reported the comment–hopefully, IFA will remove this total posting so I can start over.

    My main point is to encourage the church to forgive the Chinese, and to ask forgiveness for the actions of our nation. I really believe that is what God’s Spirit was doing as seen in that video.

Father gracious father heavenly father, you are the great I am. You are the author of our salvation and the healer of our nation. Father we repent of our sins as individuals in the nation. We have turned away from you, we have allowed you to be removed from my life. It is so obvious Lord that you have been behind the making of America. No man could conceive what you have done. Forgive us Lord for being arrogant, For being unjust, for being self-absorbed. We come to you humbly Lord seeking your restoration of our land of our world of our lives. Thank you father that you are a God of mercy and grace. We come to you Lord humbly boldly in the righteousness of your son. We ask these things in the name of your precious son Jesus who is our Savior amen
